	Cambridge Apostles
		The Cambridge Apostles, also known as the Cambridge Conversazione Society, is an elite intellectual secret society at Cambridge University, founded in 1820 by George Tomlinson, a Cambridge student who went on to become the Bishop of Gibraltar.
		The Apostles first became well-known outside Cambridge in the years before the First World War with the rise to eminence of the group of intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group.
		Many stories linked this rumor to Victor Rothschild, another Apostle, who had supplied an apartment in London for some of the Cambridge spies to meet in, though there is no evidence that he knew about their spying activities.

		This poem deals with the missionary labours of St. Andrew, and is based, probably, upon a lost Latin version of a Greek original (in Paris), the /??/ St. Andrew is commanded by God to go to the assistance of St. Matthew, who is in danger of death at the hands of the Mermedonians, cannibal Ethiopians.
		The Christ he serves is an aetheling, the apostles are folctogan—captains of the people—and temporal victory, not merely spiritual triumph, is the goal.
		Upholders of the theory of the Cynewulfian authorship of Andreas might be able to claim them as the missing conclusion to that poem, and the fact of their being attached to a piece of undoubtedly Cynewulfian work might strengthen the attribution of Andreas to our poet.

		Because of the apostles' secrecy, there is occasionally a quality of catch-as-catch-can about its narrative, especially with respect to the society's more recent history.
		And because no particular thesis concerning the apostles seems readily to have suggested itself to the author, there is an episodic aspect about the narrative that causes it now and then to stall in the telling.
		On the other hand, the apostles came to represent the cream of the cream of British civilization, or at least a portion of it; so its interests and activities were bound to become known to a degree and to be newsworthy.

		Richard Dellamora observes that "Tennyson's circle at Cambridge fostered intimacy in ways that might lead to sexual experimentation, even to sexual involvement between members of the same sex.
		Another was a sense of shared superiority that might prompt the view, as it did in a later generation, that members of the Apostles possessed a higher or different morality from that binding ordinary men."
		In preparation for his book-length study of the Society, Deacon interviewed an Apostle, who facetiously recalled the 1930s and in doing so turned the accusation that the Apostles were a hotbed of Communist spies on its head: "entry to the Society was much more likely to be through the Homintern than the Comintern.

		In the present context, they were the members of the “semi-secret” Society at Cambridge between 1890 and 1940 which became the recruiting ground of the intellectual aristocracy and had a decisive influence on the intellectual, political and philosophical life of Britain for much of the present century.
		According to the author the apostles turned out to be sober-minded, public-spirited, problem-solving individuals willing to undertake a great deal of the “world’s drudgery in a good cause”.
		The most striking feature of the apostles, the author emphasises, was to bring duty and imagination to bear on the task of creating a new aristocracy.

		By no means all of Cambridge's men of bad influence were in the Apostles, and Cambridge has undoubtedly produced much that is good.
		But Cambridge in general and the Apostles in particular have produced so much that is bad that the university is fortunate that it has not incurred greater hostility than it has.
		Deacon instances the Eton-Cambridge connections of the Apostle William Johnson, who became a fellow at King's in 1845 and for more than a quarter of a century was at the same time a master at Eton.
